I’m experiencing a big difficulty with getting alimonies from
British citizen, I see that in order to get alimonies I might have to invest:
pay for serving documents for the defendant, pay for the bailiffs service what will cost too much for me. In
order to do all of that I need to know what it will be if the father will be avoiding to pay alimonies or if he will
have no money. In my country if the father doesn’t pay alimonies, the government pays
a little sum for a child and the government recover the money from a father. I was informed that in my case we will not get
government money because father doesn’t live nor work in this country. Can you
tell me what order is in England? Thank you very much in advance
Hello Bee
How are you? I think were saying on another thread a few weeks ago that you need to go through the legal procedure in your own country and you were explaining to us the difficulties you have had with doing this. I wish I could chanhe unfair systems...and I can't....so it is hard for me to know what else to suggest
Hello, thank you for your replies! I'm not very well as for a second time (with 7 days break) I have bronchitis again. ITs good that I control angina with simple medicine and right tea and that I still can work. Yes it was me who was telling that I'm allready angry with the situation. I am from Lithuania. Jean confirmed my thought that UK Children support agency will not pay for a child who lives in Lithuania, but funny thing - Lithuania also will not pay nor help to get alimonies in my case... Bad thing is that the delivery of the claim is complicated in my case (in other cases with UK it takes 3 months) and that I think he will not be paying even a little each month and I will have to pay for UK bailiffs what will make a hole in my pocket... Who suffers? Mother and a child. It will cost too much and I think it would be better not to do that and not to have headache, but in case I become jobless, the governement wouldnt support me just because I didnt' arrange alimonies... also I really need his help as needs of a child is growing with him together... Now the Court sent the claim for the III time... This time I will be checking with the Court's forwarders "the journey" of the claim in order to be sure it reaches UK and the receiver. I even plan to apply to Royal Courts of Justice in order to ask them for a help if the address will appear to be wrong. They could get recent address from a tax Inspection, Lithuanian Court doesnt agree to apply to tax Inspection to know true address and I'am just a person and tax Inspection will not answer me.... Before I will pay for UK bailiffs, I am planning to write to UK Child Support agency and Lithuanian children retention fund with this problem as I think something has to be done in order to help for mothers and children in SUCH situation. AS Sparklinglime wrote: "you need to be certain that you will be getting it ". Its allready painfull that father refused to send his son his recent family photo. My boy is interested in him and his family... I'm OK that I wasnt THAT woman -I'm an adult to understand, but how its painfull for a child when he tells mother that his father maybe loves his other children more... and I have to explain that father lacks money... just in order not to influence bigger pain for his soul. Thank you again for replying and supporting.
The same situation exists for parents over here where the other parent lives abroad and is not in the forces and does not work for a UK company. It would be good if effective reciprocal arrangements could be worked out but I don't see it ever happening
Hello. My ex husband is from a country that is 'outside the jurisdiction'. The CSA have a list of countries that they can approach and those that they can't. It is a bore and we have no money either. I am so sorry. We have had an awful time as a result of it.
Hi
What country do you live in? As I think that can also affect things.
If he refuses to pay the money, you will need to be able to take action for him to do so. If it is going to cost you money to get alimony, you need to be certain that you will be getting it.
